-Winry's POV-
As Ed fixed Al, she continued to stare at Kit. She hadn't seen anyone with an expression like this before, it was confusions, worry, dread and shock all mixed together.
"Kit? Did something happen?" She asked as she moved to sit beside her.
"Have you ever felt like everything that you thought you knew was just some big lie? All I did was ask one rhetorical, sarcastic question and everything got turned upside down." Kit answered without even looking at her.
"Oh... Uh, it can't be that bad. I'm sure Ed didn't mean to make you feel this way."
"Ed isn't responsible for this. Surprising as it may seem, he is not the center of the universe Winry."
She blinked and stared at Kit.
"What the hell Winry! I seriously just calmed her down." Ed said turning to look at them after hearing what Kit had said.
"Excuse me for trying to help." She mumbled as she threw her hands up defensively.
-Kit's POV-
"Whatever. Ed wasn't there something you wanted to share with the class." She said, shaking her head.
She could think about what Truth had suggested later. Until then, she wanted to focus on what was going on now.
"Ah, yes. Thank you Kit." He smiled at her and proceeded to fill Al in on what they had learned in Xerxes. She made a mental note about how he didn't say anything about the Ishvalans or what that did that night. She had no place to judge him or get upset about that though and she knew that. After all, she didn't tell Roxi or her mom about it.
Tuning in once again, she rolled her eyes as Ed asked Al and Winry about why Winry wouldn't be with either of them. She couldn't help it. Since they had been friends for ages he could have asked anything.
After rolling her eyes, she saw Ed look at her questioningly and Kit just shrugged halfheartedly. He shook his head and continued, going into a long speech about how Al hadn't died during the transmutation and that his body could still be in the Gate.
That's when Kit got up and walked out into the hall. It was all she could do to avoid telling them exactly what she knew.
-Edward's POV-
He watched as Kit left the room.
"What's going on with her?" Winry asked him. She sounded genuinely concerned, despite Kit's snapping at her not too long ago.
"She's probably tired. She was practicing with her mallet and sliding around in mud all day. Just leave her be." He told them calmly.
"Brother?"
"Don't worry Al. She enjoyed herself."
"Um, okay then?" Winry stated questioningly.
He blushed as he realized how that sounded.
"Uh... Nevermind!" He exclaimed as he nearly ran out into the hall.
Kit was leaning against the wall opposite the door. She looked up at him as he closed the door.
"Hey you." She smiled at him softly.
"Hey. Feeling better?"
"Not particularly. But I'll think about that later. And before you ask, I don't want to talk about it. At least not yet."
"Okay, okay. I get it." He chuckled.
-Kit's POV-
"Thank you for understanding." She told him softly.
"Least I could do if I have to wait to get an explanation for what just happened."
"What just happened was I'm questioning my entire existence and Winry accused you of being at fault. And I needed to come out here to avoid telling everything I know."
He brought his left hand to his face and shook his head. As if to say 'Of course!' Which made her laugh lightly.
She pushed herself off the wall she had been leaning on and closed the distance between them as he lowered his hand.
"I suppose you told your mom and Roxi about Xerxes." He wondered softly as she draped her arms over his shoulders.
"All I said was that we went, it was hot and it played out like it was supposed to."
He gaped at her, surprised and she rolled her eyes at him.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't tell my mother everything and it's not like you jumped at the chance to tell Al."
"I couldn't tell Al. Not when I made a promise not to indulge in luxuries when he can't."
"Ed, his soul is bound to a suit of armor. Everything is a luxury."
"Yeah, yeah. So what haven't you told your mom?"
"She doesn't know that I want to stay here."
"You do?" He asked breathily.
"I do." She nodded.
-Edward's POV-
Kit nodded and he grabbed her shoulders. Surprising them both as he impulsively pulled her into a kiss. She gasped, hesitating. His cheeks flared red from the suddenness of his own actions.
"Ahem... Mr. Elric?"
He and kit separated and he turned to see a young man in a simple uniform that indicated that he worked at the hotel.
"Yes?"
"You have a call at the front desk."
"I'll be right there. Thank you."
He nodded and went on his way. Ed turned back to Kit to see her blushing.
"Um, you go on ahead. I'll tell Al. Say hell to Izumi for me." She told him.
"Okay." He nodded and smiled at her as he turned and went down to answer the call.
-Izumi's POV-
After first talking to Edward, she and Sig had set to finding out the truth about what she had done.
Izumi found that it had not been her baby. And like that a weight was lifted from her shoulders.
-Kit's POV-
"Al?" She asked as she went back into the room.
Alphonse and Winry sat together on the couch. They both looked up at her.
"Ed got a call that may interest you and I was actually hoping I could have a word with you."
"Okay, sure."
"Thank you."
She smiled as he got up and the two left the room together.
"What's on your mind?" He asked as they headed toward the lobby.
"On the way here, I fell asleep on the train. And Truth pulled me to see it. To see how I was doing, it said. So like a sane person I asked why I was brought here."
"What did it say?"
"That it wanted to see how I would be in the chaos."
"Bet that went over well."
"I got sarcastic and rhetorically asked if it was going to say it was my father next."
"And it's reply got you freaked you out?"
"It said that it could be and that it would explain my eyes. Then it went into a rough explanation of genetics to justify that."
"To be honest, the purple you have isn't exactly genetically possible."
"Al! Don't tell you you agree with Truth on this?" She asked while looking up at him.
"Well... um..." He looked away from her.
"It's not even physically possible! In case you haven't noticed Truth doesn't even have genitals. And I think my mom would have told me if she had sex with a featureless being."
"Kit, it calls itself God. I think if it wanted to procreate, it wouldn't have to physically be there."
"Are you says that I could legitimately have three parents? Great now I have two dead-beat relatives. This is about as weird as when I had a crush on Eric."
"Eric?"
"Roxi's older brother. He's four years older than me and I swear I thought I was madly in love with him when I first met him. But after becoming best friends with his sister and finding out he was more girlish than me, I lost interest."
By the time she finished the explanation the two stood beside Ed as he hung up the phone.
"I see. So this Eric fell out of your favor by being more feminine than you?"
"If you want to word it like a nerd. Yes, Al, that is absolutely correct."
"Who's Eric?" Ed asked looking at them.
"What's a nerd?" Al asked.
"Roxi's older brother, nevermind that." She told them.
"Oh." Ed commented.
"So what was the call about?" Al asked his brother.
"Teacher called to tell me that, like with what we made, it wasn't her baby." He answered.
"That's good, isn't it?"
"Yes, Al, it is. It means that now she's free from the guilt of killing her child." She supplied for Ed.
-Edward's POV-
He smiled and nodded.
"Oh, that is good." Al said.
"You still feel guilty, don't you?" Kit asked knowingly as she turned to look at his brother.
He followed her gaze and stared at his little brother.
"Al?" He asked.
"Um."
"He can't help it Ed. Al is pure sweetness. He'd feel guilty about getting his body back if it meant that others had to die." Kit informed him, speaking for Al.
Beside her, Al nodded.
"Then we'll find another way." He promised.
Kit smiled at his promise and kissed his cheek.
